Capito Announces Subcommittee Hearing To Examine Impact Of Dodd-Frank On Jobs And Economic Recovery
Washington,
February 28, 2011 -
Financial Institutions Subcommittee Chairman Shelley Moore Capito announced today the Subcommittee will convene a hearing to examine the impact of the Dodd-Frank Act on small financial institutions and small businesses. The hearing will take place on Wednesday, March 2nd at 2 pm in room 2128 Rayburn.
Subcommittee Chairman Capito said, “When the House and Senate passed the Dodd-Frank Act, supporters continually purported that small financial institutions, like many I represent, were exempt. As the provisions of Dodd-Frank are going through the rule-making process, I am starting to hear concerns from small institutions about the unintended consequences that could adversely affect them. This hearing will be an opportunity for witnesses from both small institutions and the small businesses that rely on them for financing to shed some light on the effect of the implementation of Dodd-Frank on small institutions.”
The hearing, entitled “The Effect of Dodd-Frank on Small Financial Institutions and Small Businesses,” will evaluate the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act and examine whether the required rulemakings will impede job creation and economic activity. The Dodd-Frank Act requires regulators to write more than 240 rules and carry out more than 60 studies. These rules will impact not only every financial institution that does business in America but also many non-financial institutions as well.
